Photo & signature — what the form asks

Photo & signature — do’s and don’ts

Taiyaari checklist — keep these ready

• Your one-time account on rrbapply.gov.in — the form needs it before anything else
• Signature scan ready: JPG, 30-49 KB, at least 140 x 60 px, running handwriting
• Aadhaar and Class 10 certificate side by side — the name and date of birth must match 100%
• For the live photo: a plain, light-coloured wall and light falling on your face
• Copies of the final files, kept safe with your application number

Documents you will need

• Signature — JPG, 30-49 KB, minimum 140 x 60 px
• Passport-style photo, 35 x 45 mm, JPG, roughly 20-50 KB — standby only, if your category offers an upload option; the form itself captures the photo live

Practice papers — previous year paper, free

This is the exam board’s official print; the correct answers are marked with a green ✓ inside it. The paper belongs to the board — it is kept here free, for study only.

Form Kit — prepare every file here, free

Every tool runs inside your browser — nothing is uploaded and no sign-up is needed.

Common mistakes that get forms rejected

• Uploading the old 10-20 KB bank-exam signature — rejected on size alone
• A signature style that differs from your exam-hall signature — mismatches cause trouble at document verification
• Leaving the files to the correction window — when it opens, it is short; get them right now

Do I have to upload a photograph?
